I measured mine 60-48mm. That's eye to eye though and still mounted. There's no bumpstop installed either.

Had some time the other night in between working on another guys rig to clean up and finish the cantilever setup. It seems like it's gonna work really well. The rig is in the building stages yet. Used boom racing shocks. Didn't like the way they worked so I took out the inner springs and used some left over rc4wd springs and some spring cups and made a slightly different setup and I like it. Everything works smoothly so we'll see

Those pics are static stance. How much flex is it capable of doing? And are those rear body post mounts in the parts trees?

I'll get a flex pic tonight when I get home from work. Yes they're in the parts trees. They do move around a bit but since the fronts are solid the rear ones stay where they are supposed to

Default Cantilever Suspension

I stumbled across these while looking for something else. I think they may work so that a conventional 1:10 shock would fit the Mini eRevo rockers. Although the hole would need to be opened to accommodate an m3 bolt.

I scored these in the sale bin at my LHS. I believe they’re for the V100. I think they’ll mate good for cantilevered crawler duty.

Came across this searching around for rear shock solutions.

Yes, I've been gathering parts for a rear cantilever using Mini Slash/Revo parts, but the Twin Hammers parts look better and already setup for 3mm screws.

What did you use for the upper and lower spring cups? I’ve had these shocks sitting in a parts bin for a while. I tried something similar with mini t springs but never found a solution for securing the upper spring

Do you know the extended and compressed lengths eye to eye?

I’ll look more tomorrow. I can’t find them right now because 1/2 my workspace is storage and I just got Christmas put away and everything is fooked.

These are rc4wd springs from the rrd shocks and I used 2 spring cups per shock one for the upper and one for the lower. They're the ones from the cheap blue China shocks. I'd think that king shock cups would work as well. I actually need to find 4 more so I can do the fronts... I really like the way they work this way. I also removed the inner spring

Inspired by those great ideas, I started a Twinhammer based Canti setup some time ago on my own, which I would like to share.
I made an adaptor plate for the shock and the lever, using existing holes in the (Axial) frame rails and just adding one extra hole for the shock attachment:

Twinhammer front shocks and cantilever, 3d-printed collar and modified spring cups for lesser preload, softer springs (Tamiya).
